Ah, you wicked man, wearing the marks of the good: you have done a wicked thing to us who are good, and shown the road of a beggar to our boys. For men not freed from the three debts and who have not weighed their works, you have made a ruin of their good, wicked one, in both worlds. So, without pity, breaking the minds of children, you go about among Hari's attendants, a killer of his good name, without shame. Are not the Lord's own always in distress with wanting to be kind to beings? All but you, killer of good feeling, who makes enmity among those who bear no enmity. Detachment does not come to men in this way. What you did, standing apart as you do, was for nothing, if you think that cutting the cords of affection is the quieting of them.
